Using the mobile device's camera, Lens is able to recognize and identify objects, text, QR codes, artwork and even animals.
In addition, support offers features such as instant translation, business card reading, product research and tourist information.
By using Google Lens, users can get relevant information and interact with the world around them quickly and intuitively, just by capturing an image.
Meet the new 'technological dermatologist'
According to a statement on Google's official blog, Lou Wang, the company's senior director of Search, announced that Google Lens now has the ability to recognize symptoms related to possible illnesses of skin.
Through Lens, users can take a photo or upload an image to get visual matches and information relevant to their search.
This functionality is especially useful when users have difficulty describing with accurately certain aspects of the body, such as possible hair loss or skin inflammation, for example.
It's important to point out that while Google Lens and other similar technologies are useful, it's critical to keep in mind that they're not foolproof.
In this way, like any other technological tool, the “Google dermatologist” can present wrong information.
Therefore, caution is needed when interpreting the results provided and not relying solely on them to make health-related decisions.
Even with the advancement of technology available, the ideal is to seek the diagnosis of a qualified professional who can help in the treatment and prevention of possible diseases.
In case of more severe symptoms that may indicate some skin pathology, only a trained dermatologist can help you!
